This Episode we are heading into the half way point of the Texas High School football playoffs, the part of the postseason where every team left has earned the right to be taken seriously. No warmups, no tune-ups, no easy outs and it is Thanksgiving week the team left fighting for a visit to AT&T are relishing in the fact they get to practice on Thanksgiving. In honor of Thanksgiving we want to take a moment to thank all of you for the support and listening! We do not take it for granted and appreciate all of you for listening and supporting!
This week Host Taylor Arenz talks with two players from two of the biggest powerhouse teams in the state! Kicking it off is with DeSoto star wide receiver Ethan “Boobie” Feaster. Boobie shares how football became his passion, the story behind his nickname, and why reclassifying was such a major decision for him academically and personally. We dig into DeSoto’s big win last week, how the team redeemed last year’s loss to Longview, and how this offense has come alive at the perfect time. They also talk about the DeSoto community, the people who support him, and what being part of this city means to him. Ethan reflects on the emotions of his final high school season and closes with powerful advice for younger athletes chasing the same dream.
Then, Taylor chats with the young man at the helm of the almighty Southlake Carroll Dragons, Quarterback Angelo Renda. Angelo opens up about the mindset behind a 12–0 run, handling the spotlight that comes with playing quarterback at Southlake Carroll, and how he approaches leading a powerhouse program. They dive into the explosive offensive performances that have defined their year, including last week’s statement playoff win, and look ahead to the highly anticipated regional matchup against Prosper. Angelo shares the lessons he’s taken from Coach Riley Dodge, what makes this team so connected, the habits that fuel his success, and the memories he’ll hold from his senior year. He reflects on his recruiting journey and closes with meaningful advice for young quarterbacks chasing the same dream.
